The Invisalign Product Range

Invisalign Comprehensive handles the broadest range of cases, including bite correction and heavier crowding, and includes refinements within the cycle to finish the result.

Invisalign Lite is the shorter, lower-cost option for mild crowding or spacing, capped at a set tray count and without the open-ended refinements of Comprehensive.

Invisalign Go offers a simplified workflow for mild anterior cases through trained GDPs — appropriate for cosmetic front-tooth tweaks, not complex treatment.

Invisalign Teen includes the features parents and clinicians want for younger patients: fade-with-wear indicators, lost-tray replacements, and eruption compensation.

Choosing an Invisalign Provider in The Shoe

Align Technology grades certified providers by annual case volume — Provider, Preferred, Elite and Diamond. Higher tiers have treated more cases and tend to be more comfortable with complex situations, so asking a The Shoe provider about their tier is a useful starting point.

All certified providers complete Invisalign training before prescribing, but specialist orthodontists — with three years of postgraduate training beyond dental school — have the broadest grounding in tooth movement regardless of tier.
